Written by former Senator Tom Daschle, and co-written by acclaimed journalist Charles Robbins, this compelling and digestible book careful examines and explains exactly how the Senate operates. From its electoral process to voting procedure, from historic beginnings to modern day issues--there is no area of this governmental body left un-revealed. Told with an insider's perspective there is no more defining or easily accessible compendium detailing the U.S. Senate"--- Subjects: United States. Congress. Senate.;
